Arviointiperusteet

Grading on the scale from 0 to 5, based on course work and the final exam.

Osaamistavoitteet

After completing the course or studying the books students will be able to
o define and apply the basic concepts of semantics and, to a lesser extent, pragmatics
o identify and discuss different levels of meaning as well as different aspects of constructing meaning
o apply this knowledge to their work in other areas (discourse, sociolinguistics, teaching English)

Lisätietoja

100% attendance is required. Students may be absent from no more than two classes for reasons beyond their control (e.g. illness or injury) on condition that they notify the instructor and explain the reason for the absence. In such cases, no make-up work is required. Three absences will result in having to repeat the course.
